So when the leader of the stranded schoolboys, Ralph, holds a meeting, and a young boy named Percival informs everyone via Piggy, that he thinks he witnessed a giant squid emerging from the ocean, I thought, Maybe the giant squid Percival thought he saw wasn’t a giant squid at all. Maybe it represents something else. What else could a giant squid represent than just a giant squid? Fear. It could represent the boy's’ fear of power, and not being powerful enough to have any influence over anyone, or anything. It could indicate that the boy’s are afraid

Lord of the Flies in an allegory for humanity (or human society) because of the loss of civilization, and the savagery in the boys, and the symbolization that rely on them. Throughout the book, three characters and their symbols that were found are Ralph; symbol of leadership and responsibility, Piggy; symbol of intelligence, civilization, and science, and Jack; symbol of evil, violence, and savagery. Most readers choose those three because they feel that it is important to discuss, rather than the other characters in the book. Although it’s important, the readers also feel that they can connect to their symbols using man vs self (internal conflict). The allegory in Lord of the Flies ties all three symbols to the loss of civilization.
Lord of the Flies is a gruesome, dark and intense novel written as a political allegory by the author William Golding. In this novel Lord of the Flies, there are various significant symbols the most being Piggy’s glasses because of how it allows a logical smart boy to see and perform tasks, it becomes a tool of innovation being able to start fires, and how it leads to the destruction of an island.
It is understandable for children to fear monsters and boogeymen. In the book, Lord of The Flies, written by William Golding, a group of English schoolboys are isolated on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean during the wake of World War II. Hearing stories and seeing the outcast of the war made the boys form an imaginary “beast”. Defining what this beast represents is tough considering the meaning of it evolves throughout the book.
Early into the book, we are introduce to a plethora of characters who all seem to differ but are all very young, it starts with Ralph and Piggy, as they explore piggy brings up that they might be there forever: “ ‘We may stay here till we die’ with that word the heat seemed to increase till it became a threatening weight and the lagoon attacked them with a blinding engulfence.”(Golding, 14) The blinding engulfing simple refers to what they fear, the unknowing. Later into chapter one, a child brings up the thought at the first meeting of a beast roaming the island: “ ‘Beastie?’ ‘A snake-like thing. Ever so big. He saw it.’ “ Golding 35,36). After this was said the others went silent solely because of that idea and they don’t know what is on this uninhabited island they’ve crashed on.

Big Fish produced by Tim Burton consist of much spiritual significance. For example, one might think the fish was a symbol of Christianity, because of the Jesus fish that we often see on bumper stickers, but there is one true spiritual significance. The one true spiritual significance that sticks out the most is the Christ- like figure. Edward Bloom, the main character represents the Christ- like figure in this film. Like Jesus, Edward Bloom is a storyteller who tells the stories of his father.
In the story “Hop Frog” by Edgar Allan Poe, Hop Frog is justified in his act of revenge at the end of the story because the king is cruel and abusive toward him and Trippetta, and the king forcibly takes Hop Frog and Trippetta from their homes against their own will. First of all, Hop Frog is justified for his revenge because the king is cruel and abusive towards him and Trippetta. After Trippetta pleads for the king to spare Hop Frog, “he pushed her violently from him, and threw the contents of the brimming goblet in her face” (Poe 902). This is a very disrespectful and cruel way to treat someone who is a servant. The king knows Hop Frog dislikes wine, but he still makes him drink it anyways.
The film Big Fish directed by Tim Burton has a lot of phenomenal quotes that relate to the film and real life that get you analyzing and thinking about them.“That the more difficult something became, the more rewarding it was in the end.” said by Edward Bloom, will be the first quote analyzed.

Therefore “Fate has a cruel way of circling around on you.” Said by Edward Bloom is the second quote to be analyzed. This quote refers to when
“ He said no I like black trees myself” in her the author is trying to show that ever persona have their point of perspective of color and each of use see it differently. “I wanted to be with someone who could understand the words I loved so much, the sentiments I carried every time I saw the transfer from one red rose to the other, someone who understood that true love was a love that existed ….” I think I could relate to that because I really think that the person that I want to love must really understand my word even if you have different backgrounds. “Aaron assured my father that I was like abalone, worth the effort – except there is no Hmong Word for abalone,so my sister ended up translating to my father that Aaron thought I was like a shellfish.” p(149) Why aron use the world abalone?

The boy is very warm-hearted and appears to struggle to understand that danger could occur at any moment, whilst his father knows a lot more about what some people, “the bad guys”, do in order to survive. It could be seen that the child is very naive and therefore trusts others more than his father. However his trust in others teaches his father a valuable lesson; that not everyone is a “bad guy”. For instance when the pair come across Ely, the father is wary about him but his son is adamant that they give him a tin of food. This shows to readers that the boy has faith unlike his father. Another example is when the son sees the little boy; he begs his father to go back and help him and asks if he can go with them. I believe that he wants to help others as

Goulding uses the boys to show the faults of mankind and the roots of all evil. Four symbols Goulding used in the novel were: Piggy’s glasses, the Conch Shell, The Beast, and Simon’s hiding place. Therefore, the symbols show the true character of the boys who are stranded on an island.
The Lord Of The Flies, written by William Golding, is a political allegory where the island illustrates the world while Jack and Ralph both symbolize conflicting ideologies, totalitarianism and democracy because Ralph and Jack, in a power struggle, fight for control over the island, trying to spread their respective ideologies, just as it occurred during the inception of the book.

During the voting process, Ralph and his conch, the device use to talk in the tribe, are described: "There was a stillness about Ralph as he sat that marked him out: there was his size, and attractive appearance; and most importantly, yet most powerful, was the conch" (22).
